Trolineke trolls and kobolds...

My name is Ineke and my greatest hobby is clay modelling. I have two children and two grandchildren. I am from the netherlands.
In 1982 I started making dolls, mainly clowns.
After a holiday in Norway my sister Elly came home
with a troll and since then I started to make trolls.
First I made a lot of 'fat' trolls of Darwi clay
and after that the 'thin' trolls made of Formo clay.
Also I made also dragons, mushrooms and gourd males.

Since 1995 I give courses.
The best thing of all is making my hobby to a profession!
Sinds 2006 we made kobolds of the Elves-Oracle.
The little creatures are most charming and everybody who sees them,
will close them in their heart immediately.

Spindle-Shanks is the last I've finished from the Elven Oracle-serie.
In total I have now made 16 goblins.
There are thirty goblins, so 14 more to go.
Very nice to make this.

In July I participated with the 4 elements Ado challenge.

My creations are getting smaller in recent years.
First my  creations were between eight- fourteen inches.
Now I make creations between four-eight inches
